SABIC® PP 578L SABIC Polypropylene Homopolymer

Product Description

SABIC® PP 578L is a PP homopolymer grade that is nucleated and contains a well balanced antistatic and slip agent package. This grade allows for cost efficient processing on the basis of good flow behavior, short cycle times, good demoulding and robust processing behaviour. Products made from SABIC® PP 578L typically have low warpage, high stiffness in combination with moderate impact strength at room temperature, good antistatic behavior and a high gloss.

SABIC® PP 578L is typically used in caps & closures and thin wall packaging both in food and non-food segments.

The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/medical applications.
